GRIYS HARBOR DEFENCE.

The Governor CT Oregon has covered
himself all over with glory by the ap-
pointment of Siglin as Brig. Gen. Of
Oregon Militia. This is peculiarly
gratifying to the nation in view of the
unsatisfactory condition of our coast
defenses and the exposure Of Empire
City to the cannon Of foreign ships.
1t will also have an important bearing
on the Canada troubles and the threat
ened war in Europe. Our militia
should be thoroughly organized at once,
and that noble vessel, which has been
lying around our wharves, known as
the Russian gun boat, should have an
appropriation flom Congress and be
put in good condition. If Scott's old
duck boat could be purchased it would
put the navy in Coos Bay on footing
with the rest Of the nation. We then
could defy Canadian Goldfish and they
would not dare come into our harbor
to molest our CLAIMS. The military
spirit of this county is thoroughly
reused and on every side can be heard
the exclamation: "Zwei glass larger
beer to go and fight init Siglin!" The
Gen. has gone east to confer with the
secretary of war, Bislnark, John L
Salliyan and other noted military men

Hillians T. Coleman.

The mention of the name of our dis,
tinguished and public-spirised fellow
citizen, William T. Coleman in con-
nection with the Democratic nomina-
tion for the Presidency in 1888, seems
to have been received at the east with
much favor. In the large commercial
cities which have extensive trade con
nections with San Francisco, the pre-
ference for Mr.. Coleman announced
by the New York Sun attracts marked
attention and calls forth strong COM
mendations in the public press. AS
a sample of these Endorsements we
give in another column of to-dayIs Ex-
aminer communication published in
the New York World. It was eyi-
dently written by one thoroughly fa-
miliar with the great executive ability
and fine business qualities of Mr.. Cole
man, and will be read with interest by
all Californians.-S. F. Examiner.

The state BOARD Of I,nmigrat;on Dead.


The State papers are generally quite
unanimous on one thing-the death of
the State Board Of Immigration. The
Albany Democrat says of it: "The I'M
migration Board died dishenorable
death on account of the lack of an ap-
preparation. Served it right. Now,
as matter Of fact, had the Board had
the ligh. kind of man for Secretary
there would never have been the
amount of kicking there has been from
the COW counties Albany Democrat.
It seems that all the papers of the
State rejoice in the demise of this
Board. Something must have been
wrong. The Lance in its last issue by
"a correspondent, and letters we have
received indicate, that the exhibit car
sent East last year in charge of Mess:s.
Buick and Prettyman has achieved
but little glory or good for our state
We suggest that the present Board or.

On this account it is admirably adapted to per-

The amimadyersions Of the Plain

Cleveland for vetoing the bill passed
By congress "for the benefit of the srf-
ferers bydrought in Texas, is not only
unchairtabfe and unjust, but it is mali
cious and venomous. OF all the unfor-
tunate people under the sun, We have
always thought those who allow their
preiudices to SO distort their mental
vision, as that they become so gan

they can see but one side Of question

not of their faith or of their way of
thinking. Now, had the president
signed or approved this Texas benefit
bill what a "hue and cry" the Plain
dealer would have raised over the mat
ter and have characterized it as said for
the exrebels," or sfood for the enemies

The State Insurance.

We have but few words to say in
reference to this company, and they
are as follows; we have to some extent
examined into the ability of the com
pany to pay all contingent losses, and
find them amply able to discharge every
accruing liability. Further they are
a safe and cheap company to do bust
ness with. Again this is a hcme COM
pany, and all things being equal, they
should be patronized. Also We know
more than half the men who are direct
ing this business, and can say that they
are men of integrity, financial ability,
and honest men. We do cheerfully
recommend the State Insurance Com
pany to any person who desires to safe
ly insure his property.
